We treat all applications equally, however we actively encourage applications from people from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, people who identify as LGBT+, who have a disability, as well as those from a working-class background, as these groups are currently under-represented in the charity sector. Our aim is to become a truly inclusive organisation, with a workforce as diverse as the communities we serve.

Background

At Hand in Hand, we help women beat the odds and succeed as entrepreneurs. The money they earn and the confidence they gain changes everything. Whole families and communities rise with them.

Since 2003, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, we’ve helped more than 5 million women launch small businesses that can stand the test of time. Some are smallholder farmers learning to stand up to climate change. Some are refugees starting a new life after running from conflict. Others are young women and girls with few opportunities, starting to dream – and plan – for the future.

Our members’ achievements (so far) include:

• 10 million new and improved jobs
• +93% average increase in monthly income
• 84% of women with the power to make decisions about their lives.

Our team works with partners throughout the global Hand in Hand network, specialising in fundraising, strategic and programmes advice, and donor relations.

Our culture 

We offer home working as standard on Mondays and Fridays. Flexible working requests (including compressed hours) will be considered for all roles.

Being an employer of choice is one of Hand in Hand's six strategic goals. We aim to have an 80% recommender score (measured via our yearly staff survey). We believe diversity drives innovation and excellence and aim to attract 33% of applicants for all new roles from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in the charity sector. 

We believe collaboration is the key to creating change, and, as part of a global organisation, work with colleagues in Kenya, Tanzania, Afghanistan, Sweden, Germany and the US to create and deliver world class programmes. Our open organisational structure encourages cross-team working – from programmes and fundraising to communications and events.
